The college Network is a company that provides study materials. You can find the same online for much cheaper.

Its obvious that I don't post much on here, but this site has been instrumental in my passing the CPNE this past weekend (June 25-27) at NYHQ with no repeats. A special thanks to Ivan and Lunarn for the notes and also ROBSCPNE. This week I will pos...

I am currently enrolled in WGU bsn prog. any tips on writing the papers? i passed my first assessment but it took me three tries. they are pretty exacting on the standards.

Most EMS workers wouldn't do well in a definitive care setting. James, RN, NREMT-P, soon to be NP

you will be successful. know your grid and go in confident. i passed first time with no nursing experience. best wishes!!!!

Get out of EMS ASAP. Just my opinion. Thanks, Jim, RN, NREMT-P

I cant believe i am finally an RN!!!!!

Pvt worked for me. Pass!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it won't hurt, but i would try looking for a hospital that offers a "critical care new nurse residency". there are many that do here in the new york city area (i.e. montefiore, nyhq, etc.)

How to pass the CPNE: 1. Get robs cpne video and e-books They were well worth the 70 bucks. 2. Read the cpne manual from excelsior and do the critical thinking exercises. It will inform you on the specifics of the exam. I.e. What to document on i...

i think it was around 6 months.

this is a worthless post...i think we all know EC doesn't hold up in certain states...there is always VA or BOP... EDIT: News flash ***Colleges, especially private ones, are businesses*** of course they are in it to make money. they have a product t...

i mainly just studied practice exams i D/L'ed from the web. i studied the night before for about 2 hrs and the day of for about an hr and pulled a 'c'.

Per Diem Paramedic 21.50/hr (thankfully i have a day job to pay my bills) (also, an excelsior nursing student) Edit: As a side note, I live in DUMBO NYC

I recently moved to NYC from Ohio. In Ohio I was making 12.xx as a medic for a private co. In NYC the private I am doing Per Diem with starts at 21.50/hr. Are there any other NYC medics that can weigh in? Have you heard good or bad about senior ca...

i have a normal 9-5 job that pays the bills. just getting the per diem for the fun of it. but still its not that bad.

u may want to consider another field

most schools require that you obtain a license in the state the school is in...for things like clinicals

I took my first exam today (Life Span Developmental Psychology). To study I took 3 practice exams and read a little of the "TCN" guide. I passed with a 'c'.

the hoops are worth it...hahahha...

rescueg.... i basically had the same plan as you. the paramedic part was pretty easy, just very time consuming with all the clinicals. now i am taking the ec tests. overall, they are relatively easy, only taking a few hours to study for each one....

What is ISU? Do you have to be an LPN to enroll?

tcn= the college network purchase on ebay for about $10-20 if you have unlimited resources get the TCN guides and take the EC exams. i didnt have much time to study, hence the 'c'.

refer to point 4. If now enrolled in the nursing program your degree should hold up in states that currently accept ec (due to "grandfather" clauses).

it seems like most state boards have a "grandfather clause" including CALI........ Reasons I chose EC: 1. generous transfer credit 2. can go to school anywhere in us 3. reasonably priced 4. the degree holds up almost everywhere, and where it doesnt t...
